		Whereas Jesse does, because Jesse is speaking in a Mummerset accent.
		"Mummerset" is not a nasty metropolitan word to describe West Country accents.
		So, Jesse's accent is Mummerset - a generic "yokel" accent of a kind affected by actors.

	The UNIT Files: Mike Yates
		Yates served as second in command of UNIT UK until his involvement in the Operation Golden Age Scandal, after which he was given the option of retiring quietly from UNIT, which he took.
		Yates was later involved in The Mummerset Monastery Affair and was also recalled as an undercover UNIT agent during the Black Star Era.
		Interestingly, sources from among former Black Star activists suggest that Yates was very attracted to their cause of anarchy, which raises severe questions as to how UNIT picked their senior officers.

	Essay by B. A. Pike
		But here, too, there are lapses--in some of the banter in the earliest books, now sorely dated; in the casual exchanges of schoolboys and students (even when, somehow, the right spirit is achieved); and, specifically, in the uncouth roars of the amateur athletes at the beginning of Adders on the Heath (1963).
		Crispin regrets the resort to "generalized Mummerset" for the servants in Dance to Your Daddy.
		Even when Miss Mitchell has clearly worked hard to achieve a particular dialect, the results are not always happy: all that careful Cockney in Gory Dew (1970) makes for decidedly uphill reading.

		Jay is the young white lad from the sticks who falls for her, played by up-and-comer James McAvoy, featured with a much posher English voice in Stephen Fry's Bright Young Things.
		Here he sports a dodgy Mummerset accent which makes him sound like he's auditioning for the Wurzels.
		The story is pretty daft - but unlike similar British films, the implausibilities are offset by entertaining and ambitious dance numbers, exuberantly combining English and Hindi.

		But I do endorse fully the Remembrancer’s assessment that Miss Postlethwaite is the wrong vintage: there is no sense here of a satin-clad bosom heaving after that idiot set fire to the waste-paper basket – rather she might almost be in T-shirt and trousers.
		At the same time, you can only praise the versatility of Matilda Ziegler, switching effortlessly and effectively from Miss Postlethwaite’s Mummerset to society gel or small boy.
		She is not a simple country lass speaking ‘Mummerset’; she is a middle-aged lady very conscious of her dignity.

		Behind the bar is a purple-nosed, bloated landlord and a cheerful, buxom barmaid, giggling away and slapping the odd rustic whose questing hands stray over the contours of her fulsome figure.
		The chatter is incoherently `Mummerset, with the lilting burr of the south-western counties of 'Olde Englande'.
		It is loudly animated and only interrupted by the heavy slurps of `rough' cider that is being consumed by the gallon.

		Fresh from driving home late at night listening to terrible - that is, absolutely normal - production (on the BBC's "cultural program") of "Arden of Faversham" - terrible 16th century play, (now unaccountably over-rated).

		Les Cloches has not been performed in England for some time, and this was, I think, the premiere of a new version by Geoffrey Wilson and Max Morris.
		It has some pretty tunes, and a plot and score which waver awkwardly between Victorian melodrama and Mummerset farce.
		Not being familiar with the original score I cannot say how much Max Morris has tinkered and/or improved it; I confess though, to being less than happy with Geoffrey Wilson's translation.

		It contains all kinds of background informaton, about the differences in class, the Great War, and facts from daily life.
		A chapter about Mummerset, a mixture of dialects useful to create a 'local' atmosphere was ommitted, and appeared later in White Dwarf.
		A very good example of making use of the information in the book is the scenario The Shadow ove Darkbank.

	Nigel Hawthorne : Theatre : The Clandestine Marriage - Review
		Directors have revealed real social cut and thrust beneath the surface fun.
		Yet Hawthorne's production is surface-bound: lurid costumes, fans and parasols, mummerset maids and enjoyable camp games with actors dressed up as hedges and bushes.
		There's scant realisation that the authors - David Garrick and George Coleman - were fiercely attacking nouveau riche merchants and thread-bare aristocrats who thought money made marriages and daughters were only worth their weight in gold.

		There is plenty of humour, too, in particular in the outrageous Hey Trolly Loly lo, complete with appalling Mummerset accents, and in the fler comedy of Britten’s A Death from Sacred and Profane, one of his last works.
		Along the way, we have the vivid word-painting of Janequin’s hunt, the languorous dissonances of Infantas’ Pentecost motet Loquebantur variis linguis, and the ravishing sensuality of Debussy’s Orléans setting.

		Richard Brinsley Sheridan actually set this satirical look at the social order of his day amid the historic landmarks of his favourite city.
		Stephanie Cole, who is a sheer joy as a ‘Mummerset’ version of that serial language abuser Mrs Malaprop, lives near the city and has been a generous participant on the local theatre scene.
		In a way, Sheridan would have been entirely at home in modern society, for his comic romp mercilessly rags such familiar targets as new money, malicious gossip, arranged marriages and overbearing relatives.

		I said that if they cast a Bulgarian and he does it well, fantastic, but equally, if a British boy does just as well, I'm perfectly happy with that.
		After all, it's not as though they're replacing Robbie Coltrane, with his 'Mummerset' accent (generic, not particularly accurate actors' approximation of a West Country yokel), as Hagrid.
		And it's not as though many people in the UK or the US will know what a Bulgarian sounds like anyway - and I have to say, I've met a few, and Romanians too, and none of them have sounded particularly alike!
